Beighton Welfare Recreation Ground
Open Thursdays 10am until 4pm
52a High Street, Beighton, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, S20 1ED
Beighton is a suburb located in the southeast of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. Once a Derbyshire village, it became part of Sheffield in the 1960s. Despite modern development, Beighton retains a village feel, with historical buildings, a close-knit community, and semi-rural surroundings.
Beighton Welfare Recreation Ground serves as a vibrant community hub offering a diverse range of activities and facilities for all ages. Inside clients will spend the day in a comfortable main room with plenty of space for all the activities you have come to expect from our clubs. We also have access to a sunny patio and large grassed area for outdoor activities when the weather allows! It is close to parks and nature trails too such as Rother Valley Country Park.

Meet our Dementia Care Specialists
Caroline Bushby
Hi I’m Caroline! I live near Chesterfield with my partner Andrew and fur baby Ted and I am proud to be the day club manager for the South Sheffield Branch of The Rainbow Care Group.
My journey working in the care sector started over 16 years ago as a domiciliary carer in the Harrogate area. This was a job I loved as it gave me the opportunity to help a diverse range of people within their own homes, promoting dignity and choice, assisting clients to retain their independence for as long as possible. Many of the clients I cared for were living with neurodegenerative disorders like dementia so I began to learn quite quickly about the challenges they faced day to day in a world that was not always understanding of cognitive impairments and sometimes frightening for the clients themselves. It gave me a great deal of pride to help such clients by providing reassurance, safety and support to carry out daily activities that they would otherwise struggle with. I enjoyed talking to and getting to know clients while carrying out my duties, learning about their life experiences and things they were passionate about.
My domiciliary care job inspired me to undertake my nurse training and in 2010 I started a degree in evidence based nursing practice at The University of York. I graduated and qualified as a nurse in 2013 after spending two months on an elective placement in Ghana, West Africa which was both an incredible and eye opening experience.
My nursing career began in Wakefield for The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust where I worked for a decade in acute medicine. Throughout my time there I met many people living with dementia and cognitive impairments and rose to the challenge of providing the best care possible for them in a challenging clinical environment. As I progressed to a more senior role, I took pride in making the area I worked in as dementia friendly as possible and strived to set an example to others of how individualised care can still be provided even within the constraints of a hospital environment.
I am super excited about my new role in charge of the Sheffield South branch of The Rainbow Care Group as it allows me to take the individualised care I have been providing to patients and clients over the years to an entirely new level. Providing activities tailored around the needs and preferences of the clients who attend gives me an immense sense of job satisfaction and there really is nothing better than seeing people enjoy themselves in a safe and supportive environment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the taster day free?
Totally. We want you to experience the day as if you were a full member. This means places are limited, so please contact us today to reserve a place.
Is it a full day or half day?
The day runs from 10am until 4pm. This is really important to give the carer a full day respite, but also to embed the loved one into the group. The change that takes place when someone gets a full day of stimulation is much faster, so beneficial all round.
Can the carer stay with the loved one?
We don’t advise this, no. This is because it is as important for the carer to get some time off and feel refreshed as it is for the loved one to feel part of the group.
Is there food?
Yes, we provide a healthy, nutritious lunch for all. (Allergies will be discussed prior to a taster day)
Do you give personal care?
We can provide personal care and we will deliver this support in the most respectful and dignified way possible. We provide a thorough assessment where we will be able to offer clarification on everything we can provide as part of our service.
Carol - A Carer's Perspective (Video)
As this video about Leeds rugby legend, John Atkinson, and his wife and carer Carol, testifies, Rainbow's Dementia Day Services really do make a difference. When it comes to dementia care, we look at the person and not the diagnosis.
